Chargers get blackout extension

The Chargers announced Thursday afternoon that due to the holiday week, the NFL has granted the club a 24-hour extension to sell enough tickets to lift the blackout for Sunday’s regular-season finale against Washington.

With only 750 tickets remaining, according to the Chargers, it seems highly doubtful that the game would be blacked out. This is the fourth game this season for which the Chargers have received an extension, and in each case the game eventually was televised in San Diego. This is the smallest number of tickets left to be sold at the time of the extension.

Barring the unlikelihood of a blackout, Sunday’s game is scheduled to be shown at 1:15 p.m. on San Diego’s Fox affiliate, Channel 5/69.
